"You're up." At more than 200 AMF Bowling locations across the U.S., that message is passed between friends as they heft a ball, step to the line, and take aim. Now synonymous with bowling, AMF was founded in 1901 as American Machine and Foundry. It wasn't until 1946 that the company made a splash in bowling, when it introduced the automated pin spotter to the public.
Today, AMF's nationwide network of bowling centers is a source of year-round entertainment for people of all ages. Outfitted with a classic bowling alley design, the centers also feature the latest technologies, from high-tech scoring systems to the ability to share experiences on social media. Bowlers can also refuel on a menu of American foods when they get hungry or the little heart-shaped meter above their heads begins blinking.

One of the most common bowling game interrupters is the human need to ingest food, a dilemma Country Club Lanes
solves by serving savory snacks and crisp beverages inside their bowling facility. Chili fries drizzled with cheese, 6-ounce hamburgers, and slices of pepperoni pizza spring forth from the snack bar to fuel players caught up in high-scoring games and documentarians chronicling their search for the 11th pin. Postbowling celebrations kick off in the Showtime Lounge, where revelers start games of billiards and darts while sipping on a selection of draft brews, including Yuengling, Fat Tire, and Budweiser.

Groupon Guide

From pedaling along the American River Bicycle Trail to hiking behind the knowledgeable guides of Alopex Eco Adventures, there are plenty of outdoorsy things to do in Sacramento. But hanging out indoors doesn’t necessarily mean you’re missing out on all the action—in fact, Sacramento bowling alleys, such as Capitol Bowl, are great places to remain active while enjoying the benefits of a roof. Of course, going bowling also means some wardrobe revisions, especially when it comes to footwear. Large, colorful, and clown-like, bowling shoes have long been a source of giggles, but they serve a few important purposes. Here are a couple reasons why bowling shoes are necessary.They Keep You on Your FeetThe primary reason you can’t bowl in your street shoes is, of course, the stuff they might track in from the street. Whether you’ve walked through a puddle or upset the monarchy of a nearby anthill, even a small amount of moisture or debris on the bottom of your shoe can make the approach—the area bowlers use to step toward the lane and deliver their throw—a dangerous, slippery place.They Help You Pulverize More PinsBowling shoes provide more than just protection. The bottom of a rental shoe sports a rubber heel and a smooth, leather sole. Ideally, on the last step of a bowler's stride, he or she will use the momentum from previous steps to swing the ball toward the pins while sliding forward on the foot opposite the ball. It's the leather sole that allows for sliding, while the rubber heel acts as a brake to prevent skidding down the lane. A bowler wearing professional shoes will have only one sliding sole, on the foot opposite his or her ball hand. This gives extra stability to the ball-side foot, which is important when aiming to consistently produce the satisfying thunder of 10 pins toppling.
